Hi,

The issue is that ReportViewer is not part of the .NET Framework. However, when Visual Studio 2005 is released, ReportViewer will be freely redistributable. You will be able to run a setup program to install ReportViewer on the target machine.

The workaround for now is to manually copy the following assemblies to the target machine (either to the bin directory or to the GAC):

Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common.dll

Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll

Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll

You can find these assemblies in the GAC of any machine that has Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2.

Thanks.

It is necessary some manually write link to this library? I have very similar error which shown only when application is compiled.

I had the same problem and have just resolved it.

My setup is like this. I developed the Web site with VS2008 SP1 on a Vista machine and the pages using ReportViewer have been working fine. However, when they were deployed to an XP machine running IIS 5.1, the following error occurred:

An error occurred during local report processing.
The definition of the report 'Main Report' is invalid.

I tried all kinds of ways to publish the site, none worked. I installed or reinstalled Microsoft Report Viewer Redistributable 2005, Microsoft Report Viewer Redistributable 2005 SP1, Microsoft Report Viewer Redistributable 2008 and it did not work. Finally I did the following:

Uninstalled Microsoft Report Viewer Redistributable 2005 SP1,

Uninstalled Microsoft Report Viewer Redistributable 2005

Rebooted the machine.

It is working fine now.

BTW, I noticed that in the Windows assembly directory version 8.0.0.0 of Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms and its other siblings are still there. I tried to uninstall them because I thoguht they were a part of Microsoft Report Viewer Redistributable 2005, but it is not allowed.

Well, the problem occurs again after I installed the lastest HotFix for SQL 2005. I tried a few things and none worked. I have given up and just publish the Web site with update option.

Hopefully this helps someone else, we ran into problems with a comiled version of a website, where the build was doing something to the rdlc (honestly havn't spent time to see whether this is supposed to happen), making the 70KB file into a 1Kb marker, so made sure to copy the files from the source project into the compiled version after the site was built, fixed the problem.

Hi,

It just need to copy your rdlc files to published folder.

publishing with no-update flag, corrupt your rdlc files.

good luck.
